Round Tower of Glendalough

The Round Tower of Glendalough is a historic stone structure located in a 6th-century monastic site in County Wicklow, Ireland. Standing about 30 meters tall, it features a distinctive cylindrical shape and a conical roof. Built around the 1100s, it served as a bell tower and a place of refuge during Viking raids. The tower is part of a larger complex that includes churches and a beautiful glacial valley. It exemplifies early Christian architecture in Ireland and remains a popular symbol of the country's rich history and heritage.
